It's a case of me dropping the ball. Would anyone who can confirm this line please contact me. Sincerely, Bob Armstrong Houston, TX bob-nita@neosoft.com

I still haven't found that summary article on them. It wasn't published in the NEHGS Register as I thought. Shall keep looking. What was published there was: "Records of Carey Cemetery, Canterbury, Connecticut" in vol. 70 of the Register, various pages. This is only one of several cemeteries in the town. There was no main Paine/Payne plot listed. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

The phrase In the Will of Thomas Payne, Jr. of Franklin Co. GA 1786, " all my brothers, stepbrothers and sisters" continues to cause problems. WWWEBSTER DICTIONARY on line defines stepbrother as a son of one's stepparent by a former marriage . Now that would really make for problems! but The 1755 DICTIONARY OF SAMUEL JOHNSON defines the useage of " Step" as one related only by marriage, and WEBSTER'S 1828 DICTIONARY defines "step-brother" as a brother in law or by marriage There are, I'm sure, dictionaries from 1786, but these are the two closest ones I have access to. I do not believe the terminology of the will shows Thomas Payne, Jr. was referring to brothers, HALF brothers and sisters. I believe he was referring to his sister's husbands. This in no way precludes the possibility that some siblings were "of the whole blood" and others "of the half blood." But the will simply does not speak to that, and can not be used to prove it. That is something that will have to be proven in some other way. In addition, the wide range of birth dates listed for Thomas Payne, Jr.'s mother, Yanaka Ayers Payne (everywhere from 1722 to 1744) does not preclude the possibility that she is the mother of all the children. This issue is very important to those striving to get the correct ancestors I suggest we curtail the speculation, stay open-minded on the subject, and keep watching for evidence that Thomas Payne, Sr. did/did not have a wife previous to Yanaka, and for evidence that Yanaka was/was not mother of all of husband Thomas' children. It would be very helpful to discover evidence either way. Cordially, Martha W. Acker

Hi again, Cousin Carol-- A distant cousin began working on our genealogy many years ago while our grandparents were still with us. I have been privy to some of her notes but what I have for your William R. is scant. I have that he came to Indian Territory and married Mandy Baine. They had seven children: Emma, Ellen, Minnie, Luther, Otha, Frank, and Oscar. Oscar died. Emma married Jim Peters (children: Berlie died. Hettie married and lived in CA). Ella married Solomon and lived in CA. She had died. Luther had not married and lived at Altus, OK. Frank married but separated and also lived at Altus, OK. Minnie married Burnside and lived in Albuquerque, NM. Otha lived in CA. By a deed dated 8 Oct 1887 the children of William B. Payne sold a piece of property in Wise Co, TX. On the deed William R. Payne was listed as living in Sharp Co, AR. William B. Payne married in 1839 to Nancy Ann Kizer who was one of ten children of Francis Kizer and Susan (Moore?). Nancy Ann died between 1859 and 1865. William B. married a Catherine C. in 1865 but she did not make the move to TX. William B. and Nancy Ann's oldest daughter, Sarah, also elected to stay in MS. I believe the rest of the children and their families moved. Some interesting tidbits: In Nov 1836 John and William Payne, with John Reeves as surety, were granted license to open an inn and tavern in the town of Jacinto [MS--a newly formed town], as was also Benj. J. Kizer [brother of Nancy Ann] and James Harris, with Terrill B. Phillips as surety. At the December meeting of the board of police . . . .William Payne contracted to build a forty-foot bridge, sixteen feet wide, across Carrollville Creek, on the Jacinto and Pontotoc road for the sum of $98, to be paid one half in cash when the bridge was completed, and the remainder six months later. Nancy Ann's father Francis Kizer was charged [along with others] by the grand jury with violating the state gambling laws by unlawfully wagering and betting with and against one Robert Lowrey upon the result of the presidential election in the United States of America. He pleaded guilty and was fined $20 and cost. I have that the father of William B. Payne was Thomas D. Payne and there was a Thomas D. living in the same vicinity as all the other Paynes and Kizers. I also have that his mother was Sarah (Sallie) but someone told me that her last name was Chatham and that sent me many miles in what I now believe is the wrong direction. So, back to the books. Talk with you later. Anne Nelson

Hi - not so unusual after all...my Otho Payne, son of William and Amanda Bayne Payne, was born in 1892 in Indian Territory. Still looking for parents of William B. b 1812 GA and Nancy Payne b 1817 TN. Carol in Okla surnames: Adkison-Byrns-Butler-Ellis-Foy-Haney-Isaacs-Kincannon- Love-Morse-Patterson-Payne-Weir

Interestingly enough, a Ralph Otho Payne was born in Rockingham Co., VA, in 1905; his eldest son, born about 1925, was Otho Miller Payne. Kevin Thompson katatty@socket.net

My gg-grandfather Charles E. (Emanuel?)Payne was b. in IN 1845-1846 according to his marriage lisence to Mary Catherine Waddle. They married 1-4-1874 in Marshall Co IN. The 1880 Marshall Co. In census lists Charles father born in VA and mother in KY. They named their first son Otho Andrew Payne. This is such an unusual name I am assuming that Charles father was Otho Payne. I find Otho Payne buying federal land in IL in 1838 and John Payne also bought land in 1838 both in Kankakee Il right on the border of Indiana. I find Otho W Payne in the Il census index from 1840-1849 and then in IA index from 1850 and 1852. Does anyone know anything about this Otho Payne? His wife, children or siblings? Charles E Payne and Mary Catherine Waddle had the following children 1. Otho Andrew Payne b. 8-7-1875 IN 2. John S. Payne b. 1878 IN 3. Issac Payne b. 1879 IN These children were listed in the 1880 census Marshall Co In In March of 1881 Charles and Mary moved to Pentwater, Oceana Co Michigan and then to Walkerville Oceana Co Michigan. They had the following children in Oceana Co. Mi. Ernest Edward Payne 2-16-1831 d. 2-12-1887 Daisy (Maude)Payne 5-21-1884 Charles C. Payne 3-1886 d. 6-8-1901 Harry (Harrison?) L. Payne 7-1889 I have extesive history on our branch, some pretty wild characters! If any of this rings a bell please email me direct. Thanks Jeanette Wheeler grandaughter of Charlie Payne, "Little John of Michigan"

Hate to hear it Patrick.. for me, I've been digging around in my PAYNE roots over 20 years and never failed to find enlightenment in the thinnest shread that might be connected. I've been criticized too... guess we all are by someone or another over time. To heck with that.. I'll continue to share with those who want to. Sorry that there are those who have gotten to you so badly. Wish it wasn't so. You have so much invested, it surely has to be hard to continue to put heart and soul when you feel some are so unappreciative. We appreciate you .. all you've done and all you will do. Don't stop! The greatest historians of all times had negative criticisms.. who cares.. The proof is in the pudding as they say! {{{{{{{{ Patrick }}}}}}}}} Don't go far from those who care for you darlin.... Big hugs Julie Payne Manley Rush Casselberry FL

I've mentioned to several individual list people a couple of Register publications on the Paines/Paynes. As i dig through my boxes, after this last move, I'm coming across some photocopies of articles on NE Paines. As I find them, I'll post them for the list's perusal. I can do limited look-ups using my libraries Cumulative Index and run of the Register. The first one I found is: "Seth Payn of Lebanon CT and Paine's Hollow, NY" This Seth is sixth generation descended from Moses. He is NOT one of the Canterbury Paines. I'm still searching for that article. Have fun! Bob Gerrity Yankee Ancestry ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

This is ALL I know about the subject. Anyone have any more information??? ------------------- Supreme Court Records in Nashville, TN Copy of the Zebediah Payne's Pronouncement " Zebediah Payne, you are found guilty of the murder of William Coltart, in the county of Franklin, on the tenth day of June 1840. Your youth, just developing into manly beauty, your apparently ingenuous countenance, and your sensibility are all calculated to excite the sympathies of the court. They would seem to indicate that you were destined for better things. Unfortunately for you, and for the country, early discipline was wanting, by which to restrain the luxurious passions of youth, and industrious habits, by which to simplify its wants and furnish the means of enjoyment. Your dissolute habits required the expenditure of money and you were reckless enough to resolve upon obtaining it at every hazard. With this in view, you joined yourself to the deceased as a traveling companion. You found he had money and you determined to take his life, and make the treasure your own. While the journeying together, and on his part, doubtless in the full confidence of social companionship, you set upon him with the ferocity of a beast of prey, and with your knife, mangled his jaw, and finally succeeded in cutting his throat, so that he died. In the wilds of Texas, where you supposed the murderer would find a secure refuge, you sought to avoid detection. But justice overtook you. You were apprehended there and brought back to the county where you From the did the murder, and have been tried and found guilty. The court finds no error in the record, and so plainly was your guilt made to appear, that the evidence has not been certifyed to this court. Your crime is of the deepest dye. Your victim a youth like yourself, one would have thought that your natural feelings of humanity would have rebelled against the horrid temptation, and withheld your hand. The judgement of the law is that you must die" Joint sentence for Payne and four others to be hung on the 10th day of Feb [no year, probably 1843/4] and hung at the public gallows "And may God have mercy on your souls" -------------------- >From Franklin Co Historical Review book 20-21 1990-1991 [2 Feb 1999- Hv library] Hurrican Springs "The country around was Thinly settled and in ante-bellum days was known as an area where "dark deeds" were committed" It was in that vicinity that Pain killed Coltart for money the unfortunate had left in the bank at Shelbyville before starting on a journey to Winchester. Fifty cents reward was the compensation for Pain's murder, and he was hanged alongside of Carrol at Nashville afterward. All were swung off at a single drop" -------- -Feb 11 1842 Hv newspaper Thomas McINTIRE is believed to be an important witness for the State on an indictment now pending in Circuit Court of Franklin Co, TN against Zebediah PAYNE for the murder of William COLBERT [COLTART?] Mr McINTIRE would confer an important service to the public by attending next Circuit Court of this place. When last heard of he was in Blount Co. AL

Mary Ann I notice you are researching relatives in Kent England. My mother, Clarice Payne, Uncle Ronald Payne and Grandfather Lesley Charles Payne came from Brighton, Sussex which is the next county to Kent. I think my Uncle emigrated to Australia but he had a son called David. My grandfather died when my Mum was quite young and she is 81 years old now. I dont know if there is a connection.
